Bio
Louise Hanson
Seth brings significant experience and quality insights to his work and has the ability to make finely balanced judgements about policy, influencing, campaigning and reputation. He’s worked on some pretty tough issues over the years, such as flooding, tax rises and pension reform and throughout the time we worked together, his ability to remain focused on finding a way through the challenges thrown at him from stakeholders, the ever changing political environment and internally was always impressive. Critically, Seth would always want to be ahead of the issue and get a strategy in place to drive the agenda and influence decisions.
Julian Knight
Seth brings a unique set of skills to the workplace being both a talented public affairs and PR professional and a sensitive, empathic and skilled musician. He was a pleasure to work with on Eurostar's CSR projects in East London in recent years, and brought many positive benefits to the New London Orchestra's activities and contact-base in the area.
